Class 4 from this series was used in GCT Episode 297.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Note: There is some echoing in the first 10-15 minutes of this class from the original recording, it will go away shortly after the class starts.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:15,760 –> 00:00:19,840
\nlast few years on trying to
\npiece together to the very best <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:19,840 –> 00:00:22,960
\nof our ability without, you
\nknow, being overly stupid and <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:22,960 –> 00:00:24,440
\nthinking, oh, we’ve got it all
\nsorted. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:24,640 –> 00:00:27,600
\nThe, the, the, the bits around
\nwhat we believe is going to <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:27,600 –> 00:00:30,480
\nhappen when the Lord Jesus
\nChrist returns to the earth. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:31,120 –> 00:00:35,120
\nAnd so I sort of put some, a
\nfair bit of work into that. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:35,480 –> 00:00:38,240
\nAnd then last year when we were
\ndoing the readings of the family<\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:38,240 –> 00:00:42,320
\nand reading Judges, I found
\nmyself thinking there just seem <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:42,320 –> 00:00:48,080
\nto be so many connections in the
\nbook of Judges pointing to the <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:48,080 –> 00:00:52,400
\nwork of the Lord Jesus in in his
\nministry on the earth 2000 years<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:52,400 –> 00:00:57,800
\nago, but to his second coming.
\nWhich I hope is going to be <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:57,800 –> 00:01:01,520
\nhelpful for us in trying to
\nbuild a picture that helps us <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:01,720 –> 00:01:05,960
\nunderstand something of judges,
\nbut something also of the time <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:05,960 –> 00:01:09,080
\nof the end.
\nSo I think we’ve got our Bibles <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:09,080 –> 00:01:11,480
\nopen.
\nWe all have judges chapter one <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:15,000
\nand the question is asked, let’s
\njust read together verse one <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:15,000 –> 00:01:19,080
\nagain after the death of Joshua.
\nSo just note that after the <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:19,080 –> 00:01:21,960
\ndeath of Joshua, it came to pass
\nthat the children of Israel <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:22,000 –> 00:01:27,840
\nasked the Lord saying, who shall
\ngo up for US against the <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:31,960
\nCanaanites first?
\nNow that’s quite an interesting <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:31,960 –> 00:01:36,720
\nquestion that they they begin
\nwith who’s going to go up first.<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:37,320 –> 00:01:41,280
\nAnd we would suggest that it
\npoints to the fact that we’re <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:41,280 –> 00:01:45,200
\nabout to enter a phase in the
\nhistory of Israel in which there<\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:45,200 –> 00:01:49,400
\nare far too many faithless
\nindividuals. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:49,800 –> 00:01:52,880
\nJust chief of Archer and just
\npop back to Deuteronomy. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:53,160 –> 00:01:54,800
\nYou, you might be able to see
\nthe screen. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:54,920 –> 00:01:58,240
\nWe, we, we realise the screen
\nisn’t as clear as sometimes. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:58,240 –> 00:02:00,760
\nWe, we managed to get a screen,
\nbut it’s the best we’ve got. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:04,720
\nIf anyone wants any notes at the
\nend of the weekend, you can have<\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:04,720 –> 00:02:07,240
\nall of these slides and you can
\ngo through them in your time. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:10,479
\nOK, so you give me your e-mail
\naddress and I’ll send them to <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:10,479 –> 00:02:12,920
\nyou on, on Sunday, Sunday
\nevening. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:16,640
\nBut for now, don’t worry if you
\ncan see the slide, the slides, <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:16,640 –> 00:02:18,280
\ndon’t worry.
\nWe’ll we’ll just make it work <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:18,280 –> 00:02:20,160
\ntogether.
\nSo come to Deuteronomy chapter <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:20,160 –> 00:02:26,480
\n31 and you remember that Moses
\nin his final speech to the <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:26,480 –> 00:02:29,800
\nchildren of Israel before he is
\ngoing to fall asleep, but he <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:29,800 –> 00:02:33,640
\nwon’t enter into the promised
\nland gives them this assurance. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:33,960 –> 00:02:37,520
\nHe says to them verse two, I am
\n120 years old this day. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:37,920 –> 00:02:39,680
\nI can no more go out and come
\nin. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:39,960 –> 00:02:42,680
\nAlso the Lord has said to me,
\nyou will not go over this <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:42,680 –> 00:02:47,400
\nJordan, the Lord thy God, he
\nwill go before you. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:48,120 –> 00:02:51,160
\nHe will destroy the nations from
\nbefore you and you shall possess<\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:51,200 –> 00:02:55,280
\nthem and Joshua, he shall go
\nbefore you. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:55,760 –> 00:03:00,280
\nVerse 8 the Lord he it is that
\ndoth go before you. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:00,720 –> 00:03:05,880
\nSo when they’re asking the
\nquestion in Judges one verse one<\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:06,520 –> 00:03:12,600
\nwho shall go up against the
\nCanaanites first, The answer is <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:13,720 –> 00:03:16,440
\nthe Lord, right?
\nAnd they should have known that.<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:17,080 –> 00:03:19,560
\nThey should have known that.
\nSo I will suggest and you know, <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:20,200 –> 00:03:23,120
\nlisten, I know you guys are all
\nyou know, I can see pencils <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:23,120 –> 00:03:25,600
\nscribbling away, but I’m I’ll
\nmake suggestions to you as we <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:25,600 –> 00:03:26,880
\ngo.
\nYou don’t have to do it at all, <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:26,880 –> 00:03:28,600
\nbut I can’t help myself.
\nSo I’m going to make the <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:28,600 –> 00:03:32,280
\nsuggestion anyway.
\nThey can note in verse one of <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:32,520 –> 00:03:38,840
\nJosh, Deuteronomy 31, verse 3,
\nverse 8, because that is the <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:38,840 –> 00:03:43,480
\nanswer to who will go first.
\nNow, I can see there’s a couple <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:43,480 –> 00:03:46,200
\nof guys looking a bit relaxed in
\nthis room and that’s making <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:46,360 –> 00:03:48,480
\nstressing me out a bit, but
\nthey’re looking a bit too <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:48,480 –> 00:03:49,960
\nchilled.
\nThey haven’t got the pencils in <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:49,960 –> 00:03:52,240
\ntheir hands.
\nAnd I’m gonna have to, I think, <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:52,240 –> 00:03:57,400
\nprobably apologise because I
\nhave given these studies before <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:57,920 –> 00:03:59,480
\nnow.
\nI thought it was pretty safe <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:59,960 –> 00:04:03,080
\nwhen I gave these studies the
\nother side of the world in <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:03,080 –> 00:04:07,760
\nAustralia, but it so happens
\nthat a group of four guys there <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:07,880 –> 00:04:10,640
\nwere in the Bible school I was
\nspeaking at, so they’re all <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:10,640 –> 00:04:12,840
\nlooking really chilled and like,
\nyeah, whatever, I got these <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:12,840 –> 00:04:13,920
\nnotes already.
\nI don’t worry. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:14,280 –> 00:04:16,720
\nDon’t be put off by that group
\nof people, right? <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:17,959 –> 00:04:21,680
\nDon’t look at their faces for
\nobvious reasons, but don’t be <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:21,680 –> 00:04:24,360
\nput off by the fact that they
\nare looking far too chilled. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:24,480 –> 00:04:26,360
\nAll right, I’m sorry you guys,
\nI’m sorry. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:26,360 –> 00:04:28,160
\nBut hopefully you can help us
\nthis weekend. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:28,560 –> 00:04:31,320
\nSo who will go first?
\nThe answer is the Lord. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:31,360 –> 00:04:34,320
\nNow let’s get back into that
\nverse one. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:35,280 –> 00:04:38,360
\nSo who will go up for us first
\nagainst the Canaanites to fight <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:38,360 –> 00:04:41,120
\nagainst them?
\nThe Lord said so, although <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:41,360 –> 00:04:46,080
\nclearly the answer is the Lord,
\nthe Lord answers, well, this is <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:46,080 –> 00:04:49,520
\nhow it’s going to work.
\nJudah shall go up. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:49,840 –> 00:04:52,880
\nBehold, I’ve delivered the land
\ninto his hand. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:53,480 –> 00:04:57,320
\nNow notice what happened.
\nJudah says to Simeon, Judges <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:57,320 –> 00:05:01,280
\none, verse three to Simeon his
\nbrother, come up with me into my<\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:01,280 –> 00:05:03,800
\nlight, that we may fight against
\nthe Canaanites. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:03,960 –> 00:05:06,160
\nAnd I likewise would go with
\nthee and thy light. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:06,400 –> 00:05:11,520
\nSo Simeon went with me and we
\nasked the question, Why is it <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:11,880 –> 00:05:17,840
\nthat Judah, it’s, it’s obvious
\nto us that Judah, we, we, we <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:17,840 –> 00:05:21,280
\nknow, don’t we, The Judah, the
\ntribe of Judah, out of Judah <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:21,280 –> 00:05:24,200
\ncomes the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nWe get to revelation. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:24,200 –> 00:05:26,720
\nWe read of the lion of the tribe
\nof Judah. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:32,080
\nSo we’re not surprised to see
\nJudah go first, as Joshua was in<\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:32,080 –> 00:05:34,480
\nDeuteronomy 31, we were told
\nwould go first. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:34,640 –> 00:05:38,560
\nSo Judah as the tithe of the
\nLord Jesus Christ, he’s going to<\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:38,560 –> 00:05:42,960
\ngo first.
\nBut he says, Simeon, you come <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:42,960 –> 00:05:46,560
\nwith me.
\nWhy does Judah say to Simeon, <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:46,920 –> 00:05:50,720
\nyou should come with me?
\nWell, to answer that question, <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:50,720 –> 00:05:53,400
\nyou’ve got to do a bit of
\ndigging, keep a marker, but come<\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:53,400 –> 00:05:55,920
\nback to numbers.
\nNumbers chapter one. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:02,560 –> 00:06:04,760
\nWe need to do some maths.
\nNow, I’m a primary school <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:04,760 –> 00:06:07,000
\nteacher, so I’m brilliant at
\nthis sort of thing, right? <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:08,200 –> 00:06:10,400
\nBut you’re going to have to sort
\nof, you know, really work on <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:10,400 –> 00:06:14,160
\nyour maths this morning.
\nSo numbers one and I, I want you<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:14,160 –> 00:06:19,000
\nto go to verse 23 and we read
\nthat when the children of Israel<\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:22,080
\nwent into the wilderness.
\nSo numbers one is the beginning <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:22,120 –> 00:06:26,920
\nof their wilderness journey.
\nHow many people are in the tribe<\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:26,920 –> 00:06:30,240
\nof simians or or how many of
\nthose numbered in the tribe of <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:30,240 –> 00:06:31,520
\nsimians?
\nSomeone call it out for me. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:33,880 –> 00:06:38,560
\n59,300 Everyone got that.
\nSo if we were rounding that up, <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:38,600 –> 00:06:40,920
\nbe a primary school teacher,
\nwhat would you get to? <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:43,000 –> 00:06:45,560
\nOh, come on, the nearest
\nthousand. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:45,560 –> 00:06:50,760
\nWhere am I going, 59,300 if
\nwe’re rounding you up, I said, <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:50,760 –> 00:06:55,520
\nHarry, stop messing around.
\n60,000 Thank you, Phoebe. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:55,880 –> 00:06:58,880
\nRight now, keep that in your
\nmind and come to chapter 26, <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:58,880 –> 00:07:03,680
\nright of numbers.
\nBecause when we next see the <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:03,680 –> 00:07:08,480
\nnumbering of the tribes of
\nIsrael, you’re going to see that<\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:08,520 –> 00:07:11,640
\nthe tribe of Simeon is
\ndecimated. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:13,200 –> 00:07:18,280
\nSo verse 14 of Numbers 26.
\nSo someone called out to me, how<\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:18,320 –> 00:07:23,440
\nmany have we got in verse 14 of
\nNumbers 2620? <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:23,440 –> 00:07:26,640
\nTwo 1200.
\nNow, JoJo, I know that you’re <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:26,640 –> 00:07:28,400
\ngood at maths.
\nYou and me are linked like that,<\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:31,240
\nright?
\nAnd we can both do the Rubik’s <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:31,240 –> 00:07:32,840
\nCube in under 3 seconds, can’t
\nwe? <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:33,000 –> 00:07:36,600
\nYeah, I, I mainly don’t do it,
\nbut I let JoJo do it. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:36,680 –> 00:07:38,200
\nBut we’re both really good at
\nit. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:38,200 –> 00:07:45,600
\nOK, so we got 60 odd thousand.
\nWe dropped down to 22,000 as a <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:45,800 –> 00:07:50,160
\nfraction, right As a broad
\nfraction. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:50,640 –> 00:07:54,800
\nHow much of the tribes have been
\ntribes of Simi have been lost? <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:56,440 –> 00:07:59,240
\nHow much have been lost?
\nSomeone shout out again. 2\/3 <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:59,560 –> 00:08:01,680
\nyeah, to a joke.
\nI didn’t say how many were left.<\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:01,680 –> 00:08:03,080
\nI said how many have got lost.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:03,600 –> 00:08:06,920
\nHe’s relying on you.
\nSo 2\/3 got lost. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:06,920 –> 00:08:12,040
\nNow just remember that no, no,
\nthe reason they got lost is <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:12,040 –> 00:08:15,880
\nactually back in chapter 25.
\nYou think because in chapter 25,<\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:15,880 –> 00:08:22,400
\nthe Simianites were so foolish
\nin allowing the, the, the women,<\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:22,400 –> 00:08:27,600
\nthey got caught up with the, the
\nwomen of Baio Pure of Moab, the <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:27,600 –> 00:08:31,400
\nMidianite women there.
\nAnd as a result, playing into <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:31,400 –> 00:08:35,240
\nthe camp and thousands, 10s of
\nthousands lost their lives. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:35,400 –> 00:08:37,880
\nSo the Triumph Simian was
\ndecimated. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:39,400 –> 00:08:45,520
\nWhy is that interesting to us?
\nWe’re thinking now we know why, <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:45,680 –> 00:08:49,800
\nJudah says to Simeon, you stick
\nwith me. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:50,800 –> 00:08:55,320
\nThe Simeonites, when they went
\ninto the land, they never had a <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:55,320 –> 00:08:59,160
\nborder.
\nThe tribe of Simeons sat in the <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:59,160 –> 00:09:03,320
\nmiddle of the tribe of Judah.
\nThey couldn’t be trusted with <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:03,320 –> 00:09:05,480
\nhaving a border in the
\nwilderness. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:05,560 –> 00:09:09,120
\nThey camped on the South side of
\nthe camp, and when the Moabites <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:09,120 –> 00:09:11,040
\nwere excellent, they let the
\nMoabites in the camp. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:11,680 –> 00:09:15,680
\nThey weren’t allowed a border.
\nJudah says Judges one. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:16,040 –> 00:09:24,240
\nYou stick with me, Simeon.
\nWe know that 2\/3 or thereabouts <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:24,680 –> 00:09:28,600
\nwere lost.
\nCome with me to Zechariah <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:28,600 –> 00:09:34,840
\nChapter 13.
\nZechariah 13. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:38,240 –> 00:09:45,800
\nAt the time of the end, when the
\nLord Jesus Christ, the Lion of <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:45,800 –> 00:09:51,720
\nthe tribe of Judah, returns to
\nthe earth, there will have been <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:51,880 –> 00:09:55,320
\na great and awful destruction in
\nthe land. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:56,440 –> 00:09:59,720
\nAnd we’re told in Zechariah 13
\nand verse eight, it shall come <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:59,720 –> 00:10:05,360
\nto pass that in all the Lamb,
\nsays the Lord, two parts therein<\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:05,600 –> 00:10:10,560
\nshall be cut off and die, but a
\nthird will be left. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:11,280 –> 00:10:18,920
\nSo my suggestion to you is that
\nthe Simeonites represent the <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:18,920 –> 00:10:22,920
\nwhole of the House of Israel.
\nWhat does Simeon mean? <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:27,040 –> 00:10:28,600
\nI can’t hear you?
\nThanks. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:28,600 –> 00:10:29,560
\nHim.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:29,600 –> 00:10:30,480
\nYou.
\nYou should, though. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:30,600 –> 00:10:33,960
\nSo, so, so the simulates.
\nIt’s about hearing, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:34,240 –> 00:10:36,360
\nNow, just keep reading the first
\nline. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:36,360 –> 00:10:38,720
\nI’ll bring the third part
\nthrough the fire. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:41,120
\nI’ll refine them as silver’s,
\nrefined them. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:41,120 –> 00:10:45,600
\nTry them as gold is tried.
\nThey shall call on my name and I<\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:48,320
\nwill hear them.
\nI will say it is my people. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:48,720 –> 00:10:51,760
\nAnd they shall say Yahweh is my
\nGod. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:52,000 –> 00:10:56,200
\nI will hear them.
\nThat’s what the Simonites means.<\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:56,360 –> 00:11:04,000
\nAnd I suggest that the Simonites
\nrepresent Israel, who 2\/3 are <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:04,000 –> 00:11:06,760
\nwiped out and destroyed at the
\ntime of the coming of the Lord <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:06,760 –> 00:11:09,720
\nJesus Christ.
\nBut a third will go in. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:09,720 –> 00:11:12,760
\nWhy?
\nBecause they will listen and <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:12,760 –> 00:11:17,440
\nhold on to the Lion of the tribe
\nof Judah. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:17,840 –> 00:11:22,480
\nSo let’s go back to Judges
\nchapter one and let me give you <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:22,480 –> 00:11:24,640
\na couple of notes that you might
\nwant to put in your margin next <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:24,640 –> 00:11:27,240
\nto verse three.
\nSo you might have in your margin<\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:28,920 –> 00:11:32,000
\nNumbers one.
\nLet me give you a reference. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:32,000 –> 00:11:36,160
\nI’ll put it on the screen there.
\nNumbers one, verse 23 or Numbers<\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:36,160 –> 00:11:43,080
\n26, verse 14 next to Simeon,
\nNumbers 123, Numbers 26, verse <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:43,080 –> 00:11:47,160
\n14.
\nYou might also want Zechariah 13<\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:47,440 –> 00:11:54,120
\nverses 8:00 and 9:00.
\nOK, so Simeon is going to stick <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:54,120 –> 00:11:56,360
\nwith Judy.
\nThey’re going to go into the <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:56,360 –> 00:11:56,760
\nland.
\nNow. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:56,800 –> 00:12:00,200
\nWe’re just trying to sort of
\nglean some lessons here from the<\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:00,200 –> 00:12:04,760
\nbeginning of the book of Judges.
\nAnd we noticed that it began and<\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:04,760 –> 00:12:10,760
\nI asked you to note the phrase
\nin verse one after the death of <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:10,880 –> 00:12:15,400
\nJoshua after the death of Joshua
\nnow Joshua. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:15,800 –> 00:12:18,600
\nI could ask my kids and I think
\nthey could tell you I LL ask <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:18,600 –> 00:12:26,200
\nJoshua Daisy at the back Joshua
\nis a type of who go on Jesus yes<\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:26,640 –> 00:12:32,320
\nso after the death of Joshua.
\nWe re being given something here<\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:32,320 –> 00:12:38,720
\nas a clue and a type after the
\ndeath of the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:39,080 –> 00:12:43,400
\nNow I want to note how important
\nthis is that we’re going to see <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:43,520 –> 00:12:49,360
\nthe something required of each
\nperson after the death here of <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:49,360 –> 00:12:53,920
\nJoshua, but in type we’re
\npointing to the work of the Lord<\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:53,920 –> 00:12:58,040
\nJesus Christ after the death of
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:58,640 –> 00:13:01,800
\nWhat is it that’s so important?
\nJust cast your mind back. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:02,040 –> 00:13:11,040
\nGo back to Joshua 4 and you can
\nsee in Joshua 24 the last words <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:11,040 –> 00:13:21,520
\nreally of Joshua 24 and just
\ncast your eye down the chapter. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:21,800 –> 00:13:26,600
\nYou can sort of get to verse 26.
\nVerse 27 you see Joshua speaking<\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:29,000
\nto the people.
\nVerse 28. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:29,360 –> 00:13:36,160
\nSo Joshua let the people depart
\nevery man to his inheritance. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:36,440 –> 00:13:40,480
\nNow that phrase every man is
\nrepeated is now repeated in <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:40,480 –> 00:13:46,400
\nJudges 2.
\nSo just go to Judges 2 and verse<\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:46,400 –> 00:13:50,720
\n6 where we read that when Joshua
\nhad let the people go, the <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:50,760 –> 00:13:56,800
\nchildren of Israel went every
\nman to his inheritance. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:56,920 –> 00:14:00,640
\nAnd then you see, look, verse 8,
\nverse 9, Joshua dies and they <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:00,640 –> 00:14:05,680
\nbury him.
\nSo the final call of Joshua is <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:05,680 –> 00:14:11,480
\nto say every man to his
\ninheritance after the death of <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:11,480 –> 00:14:15,680
\nJoshua, every man deserves.
\nNow we’re trying to get this <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:15,680 –> 00:14:19,000
\nmindset.
\nWhat is this teaching us that <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:19,000 –> 00:14:21,440
\nmay have some significance to
\nour own lives? <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:21,960 –> 00:14:28,600
\nWell, when we take the type of
\nJoshua being the Lord Jesus, the<\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:29,160 –> 00:14:34,040
\ndeath of the Lord Jesus is
\nobviously it’s the most <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:34,040 –> 00:14:38,360
\nimportant event ever in the
\nhistory of the world because he <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:38,640 –> 00:14:44,840
\ndealt with the problem of sin.
\nJoshua took the children of <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:44,840 –> 00:14:53,760
\nIsrael into the land of Israel.
\nHe defeated the Canaanites, but <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:53,760 –> 00:14:58,680
\nnot all the Canaanites are gone.
\nHe defeated the Canaanites. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:58,880 –> 00:15:01,080
\nHe beat them.
\nThey were there in the land now,<\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:02,320 –> 00:15:07,320
\nbut he now says, and the record
\nsays after the death of Joshua, <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:07,960 –> 00:15:12,600
\nthe book of Judges is saying
\nevery man to his inheritance. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:16,160
\nSo what does this mean?
\nWell, I’m going to suggest to <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:16,160 –> 00:15:19,960
\nyou and I’ll be interested in
\nyour thoughts in the breaks that<\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:19,960 –> 00:15:26,240
\nperhaps what this means is that
\nyes, the death of the Lord Jesus<\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:26,240 –> 00:15:32,600
\nChrist has dealt with the
\nCanaanites, but does that mean <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:37,200
\nthat in your life or or in my
\nlife, in each of our lives <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:37,200 –> 00:15:41,240
\nindividually that sin is no
\nlonger a problem? <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:43,680 –> 00:15:46,280
\nWe all know it’s not.
\nIt’s still very much is a <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:46,280 –> 00:15:51,560
\nproblem in our lives, isn’t it?
\nSo every man to his inheritance,<\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:52,040 –> 00:15:58,360
\nI’d suggest to you is saying
\neach of us as individuals in our<\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:58,360 –> 00:16:04,160
\nown homes as it were, has got to
\nnow deal with the Canaanite. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:04,800 –> 00:16:08,520
\nOK, so the death of Joshua, the
\ndeath of the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:08,520 –> 00:16:11,360
\nis a it’s the most important
\nevent ever. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:11,760 –> 00:16:15,360
\nHe’s dealt with the problem of
\nsin for us, but you now as <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:15,400 –> 00:16:21,280
\nindividuals, every man has got
\nto deal with that problem in <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:21,280 –> 00:16:23,120
\ntheir lives.
\nWe think of the words of the <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:23,120 –> 00:16:25,720
\nLord Jesus.
\nYou know you might want to make <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:25,720 –> 00:16:28,840
\na note next to Judges 2 verse 6.
\nEvery man to his inheritance. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:29,000 –> 00:16:33,120
\nFirst of all make a note of
\nchapter one verse 28, chapter 24<\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:33,120 –> 00:16:36,720
\nrather verse 28 of Joshua Joshua
\n2428. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:36,720 –> 00:16:38,640
\nIt S probably already in the
\nmargin. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:38,640 –> 00:16:40,880
\nIf you VE got a margin circle it
\nor something like that. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:41,760 –> 00:16:44,080
\nBut another reference to
\npossibly put there is Matthew <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:44,080 –> 00:16:46,240
\n1624.
\nYou remember the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:46,240 –> 00:16:52,160
\nsays, if any man come after me,
\nlet him deny himself and take up<\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:52,320 –> 00:16:55,840
\nhis cross and follow me.
\nThat S the principle I would <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:55,840 –> 00:16:59,720
\nsuggest of every man to his
\ninheritance. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:00,080 –> 00:17:04,680
\nYou VE got to work out your own
\nsalvation with trembling and <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:04,680 –> 00:17:14,960
\nfear.
\nOK, so just turn a page. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:16,400 –> 00:17:21,800
\nCome to the end of Judges
\nchapter 2 where we’re <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:21,800 –> 00:17:28,440
\nspecifically told that Joshua
\nyes, he dealt with the <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:28,440 –> 00:17:30,720
\nCanaanites, but look at this
\nverse 21. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:32,000 –> 00:17:37,280
\nI also will not henceforth drive
\nout any from before them of the <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:37,280 –> 00:17:42,360
\nnations which Joshua left when
\nhe died. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:42,880 –> 00:17:51,040
\nWhy, verse 22, That through them
\nI may prove Israel. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:51,520 –> 00:17:54,400
\nNow circle or highlight the
\nword. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:54,400 –> 00:17:58,920
\nProve in verse 22 that they’re
\nthere, that I might prove <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:58,960 –> 00:18:01,400
\nIsrael.
\nVerse 23. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:18:01,640 –> 00:18:04,760
\nTherefore the Lord left those
\nnations without driving them out<\/p>\n
259
\n00:18:04,760 –> 00:18:07,560
\nhastily, neither delivered them
\ninto the hand of Joshua. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:18:07,840 –> 00:18:13,400
\nNow these are the nations which
\nthe Lord let circle to prove <\/p>\n
261
\n00:18:13,600 –> 00:18:18,800
\nIsrael down to verse 4.
\nThey were to prove Israel’s <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:18,800 –> 00:18:22,680
\ncircle.
\nWell, I have some tea. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:32,160
\nThanks, son.
\nThese are the nations. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:33,040 –> 00:18:36,600
\nThese nations were left to prove
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:37,240 –> 00:18:44,680
\nAnd that principle is what
\napplies to our life, the Lord <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:44,680 –> 00:18:48,040
\nJesus Christ or the Lord God at
\nthe death of the Lord Jesus. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:48,440 –> 00:18:50,600
\nYes, he could have dealt with
\nthe problem of sin, which he <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:50,600 –> 00:18:53,760
\ndid, and at that point sin could
\nhave been no more on the earth. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:55,720 –> 00:18:59,880
\nBut he didn’t do that.
\nHe’s dealt with the problem of <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:59,880 –> 00:19:03,640
\nsin, but we’ve got to have
\nfaith. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:19:04,640 –> 00:19:09,400
\nNow I didn’t point out to you,
\nbut in Zechariah 13 when we read<\/p>\n
272
\n00:19:09,400 –> 00:19:14,040
\nof the 3rd that were refined,
\nhow are they described as what <\/p>\n
273
\n00:19:14,040 –> 00:19:21,560
\nmetal is refined?
\nGold it was and silver gold it <\/p>\n
274
\n00:19:21,560 –> 00:19:23,760
\nwas and silver.
\nSilver speaks of redemption. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:30,240
\nGold one Peter one verse seven
\nspeaks of tried faith. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:19:31,200 –> 00:19:34,200
\nGood Daisy tried faith, good
\njob. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:34,960 –> 00:19:38,200
\nSo gold is tried faith.
\nThat’s the refining process <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:38,200 –> 00:19:40,920
\nthat’s got to take place to
\nprove us. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:41,480 –> 00:19:47,400
\nSo all of us still mess up.
\nAll of us this last week have <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:47,400 –> 00:19:50,880
\nhad things in our lives.
\nWe thought, why have I made such<\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:50,880 –> 00:19:53,360
\na mess of that?
\nWhy did I say that to that <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:53,360 –> 00:19:56,600
\nperson?
\nWhy did I speak in that manner? <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:56,760 –> 00:20:02,400
\nWhy did I go there?
\nThere’s not a person in this <\/p>\n
284
\n00:20:02,400 –> 00:20:07,040
\nroom that hasn’t struggled with
\nthe problem of sin in your life <\/p>\n
285
\n00:20:07,040 –> 00:20:09,880
\nthis week.
\nAll of us have. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:20:12,440 –> 00:20:18,000
\nBut that problem is there to
\nprove us, to test us. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:20:18,240 –> 00:20:23,640
\nThe Canaanite is still in our
\nlife, but God wants people, us <\/p>\n
288
\n00:20:23,640 –> 00:20:27,400
\nto be refined as gold is trying
\nthe fire. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:28,120 –> 00:20:32,200
\nHe wants to know, are you
\nfaithful? <\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:34,200 –> 00:20:37,320
\nHe doesn’t need to see, have you
\ngot it all sorted? <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:37,480 –> 00:20:40,120
\nHe knows you can’t get it all
\nsorted. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:42,280 –> 00:20:47,680
\nHe wants to know, are you
\nfaithful to believe His word <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:48,560 –> 00:20:54,040
\nfrom beginning to end?
\nAre you faithful to trust in it?<\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:56,160 –> 00:20:57,560
\nThat’s what He wants to see in
\nUS. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:58,480 –> 00:21:02,920
\nAnd that’s why the Canaanites
\nwere left in the land. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:21:03,080 –> 00:21:08,880
\nLook verse 23, chapter 20,
\nchapter 2, The Lord left those <\/p>\n
297
\n00:21:08,880 –> 00:21:16,040
\nnations in order to prove us.
\nNow look in verse chapter 3, <\/p>\n
298
\n00:21:16,040 –> 00:21:18,000
\nverse one and two.
\nThese the nations which the Lord<\/p>\n
299
\n00:21:18,000 –> 00:21:20,880
\nleft to prove Israel by them,
\neven as many of Israel as have <\/p>\n
300
\n00:21:20,880 –> 00:21:24,640
\nnot known all the wars of
\nCanaan, only that the <\/p>\n
301
\n00:21:24,640 –> 00:21:31,000
\ngenerations of the children of
\nIsrael might know to teach them <\/p>\n
302
\n00:21:31,000 –> 00:21:35,480
\nwar.
\nSo that the nations were left. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:39,360
\nThe problem was left to teach
\nthem war. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:21:41,080 –> 00:21:44,800
\nThat’s such a great phrase in
\nScripture that we might be <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:44,800 –> 00:21:49,120
\ntaught war.
\nNow, obviously as boys, I can <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:49,120 –> 00:21:50,520
\nsee a lot of alpha males in this
\nroom. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:50,960 –> 00:21:55,160
\nAny phrase in Scripture that
\nsays to teach war, we just <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:55,160 –> 00:21:57,040
\nimmediately feel thrilled,
\nright? <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:57,960 –> 00:22:00,120
\nBrilliant.
\nScripturally, I am allowed to be<\/p>\n
310
\n00:22:00,120 –> 00:22:05,000
\ntaught war, right?
\nBut obviously this war is <\/p>\n
311
\n00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:08,160
\nagainst the problem of sin,
\nisn’t it in our lives? <\/p>\n
312
\n00:22:08,440 –> 00:22:10,880
\nA really good reference.
\nI’ll turn there if you like. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:22:10,880 –> 00:22:12,560
\nYou make a note or by all means
\nturn there. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:22:12,920 –> 00:22:18,560
\nFirst Timothy one and verse 18
\nnext to teach them war, First <\/p>\n
315
\n00:22:18,560 –> 00:22:23,760
\nTimothy one verse 18 when the
\napostle Paul wrote to Timothy, <\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:25,800 –> 00:22:28,040
\nobviously he’s writing under
\ninspiration. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:28,520 –> 00:22:31,400
\nI think we’re all comfortable
\nand know that well. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:32,480 –> 00:22:35,920
\nAnd we read in verse 18 that the
\napostle Paul says to Timothy <\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:35,920 –> 00:22:39,360
\none, Timothy one.
\nThis charge I commit to thee, <\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:39,360 –> 00:22:42,960
\nson Timothy, according to the
\nprophecies which went before me,<\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:43,280 –> 00:22:48,640
\nthat thou by them mightest war,
\na good warfare. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:49,440 –> 00:22:52,120
\nHolding what?
\nAnyone there? <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:53,440 –> 00:22:57,480
\nVerse 19 Holding what faith,
\nright? <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:57,840 –> 00:23:00,800
\nYou’ve got to hold to war the
\ngood warfare. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:23:00,920 –> 00:23:06,760
\nYou’ve got to #1 hold faith that
\nyou describe. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:23:06,760 –> 00:23:12,840
\nSadly, those who fell away,
\nthose who didn’t have the faith <\/p>\n
327
\n00:23:13,120 –> 00:23:15,960
\nto believe and trust in the
\nprophecies. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:23:15,960 –> 00:23:22,160
\nVerse 18 which went before young
\npeople brothers and sisters, we <\/p>\n
329
\n00:23:22,160 –> 00:23:28,040
\nVE got to war a good warfare.
\nThe charge that the apostle Paul<\/p>\n
330
\n00:23:28,040 –> 00:23:33,440
\ngave to Timothy as his son in
\nthe faith is the charge given to<\/p>\n
331
\n00:23:33,480 –> 00:23:40,760
\neach one of us.
\nWar, the warfare, holding faith.<\/p>\n
332
\n00:23:43,400 –> 00:23:46,440
\nOK come back with me.
\nWe VE sort of hopefully built a <\/p>\n
333
\n00:23:46,440 –> 00:23:49,440
\nbit of a picture around the
\nbeginning of the children of <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:49,440 –> 00:23:53,560
\nIsrael and the principles being
\nset out for us going as they re <\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:53,560 –> 00:23:58,440
\nin the land and and the age of
\nthe judges is about to begin. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:59,760 –> 00:24:06,040
\nAnd brother Josh read for us the
\n1st 7 verses of Joshua. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:24:06,040 –> 00:24:11,240
\nOne where we read in verse four
\nthat Judah went up and the Lord <\/p>\n
338
\n00:24:11,240 –> 00:24:14,400
\ndelivered the Canaanites and the
\nPerizzite into their hand, and <\/p>\n
339
\n00:24:14,400 –> 00:24:18,640
\nthey slew of them in Bezek
\n10,000 men. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:24:19,760 –> 00:24:25,360
\nAnd they found Adonai Bezek in
\nBezek and they fought against <\/p>\n
341
\n00:24:25,360 –> 00:24:28,600
\nhim and they slew the Canaanites
\nand the Perizzites. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:24:29,280 –> 00:24:34,880
\nBut Anani Bezek fled and they
\npursued after him and caught him<\/p>\n
343
\n00:24:35,320 –> 00:24:39,880
\nand cut off his thumbs and his
\ngreat toes. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:24:40,920 –> 00:24:43,040
\nIt’s pretty brutal, isn’t it?
\nYou know, we read that. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:24:43,040 –> 00:24:46,440
\nWe think, man, we’re about to
\nread, you know, wall of warfare,<\/p>\n
346
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:51,320
\nyou know, cut off the thumbs and
\nthe great toes it, you know, it <\/p>\n
347
\n00:24:51,360 –> 00:24:55,600
\nis brutal, isn’t it?
\nBut first of all, we noticed <\/p>\n
348
\n00:24:55,600 –> 00:25:00,240
\nthat that’s exactly what Adonai
\nBizek had done verse 7 to 70 <\/p>\n
349
\n00:25:00,240 –> 00:25:05,280
\nother kings who were like
\nanimals eating under his table. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:25:06,160 –> 00:25:10,880
\nSo he understands himself at the
\nend of verse 7 as I have done, <\/p>\n
351
\n00:25:11,480 –> 00:25:14,920
\nso God hath requited me.
\nAnd they brought him to <\/p>\n
352
\n00:25:14,920 –> 00:25:19,040
\nJerusalem and he died there.
\nBut we asked the question, well,<\/p>\n
353
\n00:25:19,440 –> 00:25:25,280
\nwhy is it that this, you know,
\nbrutality was allowed to be done<\/p>\n
354
\n00:25:26,440 –> 00:25:35,720
\nby Judah and company in
\ndestroying Adonai Bizek before <\/p>\n
355
\n00:25:35,720 –> 00:25:38,880
\nhe died?
\nWell, I’m going to make a <\/p>\n
356
\n00:25:38,880 –> 00:25:42,880
\nsuggestion to you that you need
\nto go back to Leviticus chapter <\/p>\n
357
\n00:25:42,880 –> 00:25:46,080
\n14.
\nSo keep a marker, but come back <\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:46,080 –> 00:25:51,880
\nto Leviticus 14.
\nDon’t forget that we’re sort of <\/p>\n
359
\n00:25:52,200 –> 00:25:57,200
\ntrying to work in a lens about
\nwhat the judges are teaching us <\/p>\n
360
\n00:25:57,680 –> 00:26:01,400
\nabout the work of the Lord Jesus
\nand about the time of the end <\/p>\n
361
\n00:26:03,040 –> 00:26:07,920
\nJudges 14 we read of the law of
\nleprosy. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:26:09,560 –> 00:26:13,680
\nNow the Canaanite represents in
\nScripture sin. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:26:14,400 –> 00:26:18,160
\nLeprosy represents in Scripture
\nsin. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:26:18,360 –> 00:26:20,320
\nOK, we re all comes with that,
\naren’t we? <\/p>\n
365
\n00:26:20,840 –> 00:26:27,680
\nThe the problem of sin is what’s
\nbeing dealt with and for leprosy<\/p>\n
366
\n00:26:27,680 –> 00:26:31,240
\nto be dealt with, the problem of
\nsin under the law. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:26:31,760 –> 00:26:36,160
\nLet’s go to Leviticus 14, verse
\n24 for a bit of connection. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:26:36,480 –> 00:26:39,560
\nThe priest shall take the lamb
\nof the trespass offering and the<\/p>\n
369
\n00:26:39,560 –> 00:26:42,120
\nlog of oil, and the priest shall
\nwave them for a wave offering <\/p>\n
370
\n00:26:42,120 –> 00:26:44,440
\nbefore the Lord.
\nHe shall kill the lamb of the <\/p>\n
371
\n00:26:44,440 –> 00:26:46,760
\ntrespass offering.
\nAnd the priest shall take some <\/p>\n
372
\n00:26:46,760 –> 00:26:50,240
\nof the blood of the trespass
\noffering and put it on the tip <\/p>\n
373
\n00:26:50,240 –> 00:26:52,840
\nof the right ear of him that
\nshould be cleansed, and upon the<\/p>\n
374
\n00:26:52,840 –> 00:27:00,240
\nthumb of his right hand and upon
\nthe great toe of his right foot.<\/p>\n
375
\n00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:05,720
\nSo the person that would be
\ncleansed from the problem of <\/p>\n
376
\n00:27:05,720 –> 00:27:09,320
\nleprosy.
\nLeprosy represents sin. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:27:09,480 –> 00:27:13,720
\nYeah.
\nHas to have the blood of the <\/p>\n
378
\n00:27:13,720 –> 00:27:19,680
\nsacrifice put on their ear,
\ntheir elope, but also their <\/p>\n
379
\n00:27:20,000 –> 00:27:28,200
\nthumb and their big toe.
\nAnd I be Zek for everything he <\/p>\n
380
\n00:27:28,200 –> 00:27:33,040
\nhad done, who’s obviously the
\nmost disgraceful, awful human <\/p>\n
381
\n00:27:33,040 –> 00:27:38,160
\nbeing.
\nHe was not going to be able to <\/p>\n
382
\n00:27:38,160 –> 00:27:40,040
\nbe forgiven.
\nNow God will forgive. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:27:40,200 –> 00:27:46,040
\nAnyone he knows will repent.
\nBut Adonai Bizik represents who?<\/p>\n
384
\n00:27:46,360 –> 00:27:54,360
\nHe’s the king of the Canaanites.
\nHe’s the king of the Canaanites.<\/p>\n
385
\n00:27:55,200 –> 00:28:02,280
\nHe will not be in the Kingdom.
\nYes, he realised in Judges one, <\/p>\n
386
\n00:28:02,520 –> 00:28:05,240
\nGod has requited me.
\nHe knew it was a just <\/p>\n
387
\n00:28:05,240 –> 00:28:08,920
\npunishment.
\nHe was not sorry for his <\/p>\n
388
\n00:28:08,920 –> 00:28:13,600
\nactions.
\nHe’s the king of the Canaanites.<\/p>\n
389
\n00:28:14,560 –> 00:28:18,000
\nJust go to the end of Zechariah
\n14, the last verse of Zechariah <\/p>\n
390
\n00:28:18,000 –> 00:28:21,640
\n14.
\nWhat do we read? <\/p>\n
391
\n00:28:21,640 –> 00:28:26,960
\nAnd this is a Kingdom picture in
\nZechariah 14, who will not be in<\/p>\n
392
\n00:28:26,960 –> 00:28:29,160
\nthe Kingdom?
\nThere’s only one group of people<\/p>\n
393
\n00:28:29,160 –> 00:28:31,280
\nwe’re told will not be in the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:28:33,600 –> 00:28:38,960
\nGo on, shout it out for me.
\nThe Canaanite, Adonai Bizik is <\/p>\n
395
\n00:28:38,960 –> 00:28:44,640
\nthe king of the Canaanite.
\nAnd so that’s why I believe that<\/p>\n
396
\n00:28:44,640 –> 00:28:48,160
\nthat punishment to him, yes, it
\nwas just an eye for an eye, a <\/p>\n
397
\n00:28:48,200 –> 00:28:50,520
\ntooth for a tooth.
\nWell, a thumb for a thumb and a <\/p>\n
398
\n00:28:50,520 –> 00:28:52,040
\ngreat toe for a great toe,
\nright? <\/p>\n
399
\n00:28:54,040 –> 00:28:56,560
\nBut actually it’s teaching a
\nmore important principle. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:28:57,520 –> 00:29:02,880
\nThe Canaanite, the king of the
\nCanaanites, the problem of sin <\/p>\n
401
\n00:29:03,600 –> 00:29:07,360
\nwill not be allowed to be in the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:29:09,040 –> 00:29:14,280
\nLet’s go back to Judges and I
\nwant us to move to chapter 3, <\/p>\n
403
\n00:29:14,320 –> 00:29:18,160
\nplease, where we read in verse
\nseven that the children of <\/p>\n
404
\n00:29:18,160 –> 00:29:21,000
\nIsrael did evil in the sight of
\nthe Lord and forget the Lord <\/p>\n
405
\n00:29:21,000 –> 00:29:23,360
\ntheir God and serve Balaam and
\nthe Groves. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:29:23,880 –> 00:29:27,880
\nTherefore, the anger of the Lord
\nwas hot against them, and He <\/p>\n
407
\n00:29:27,880 –> 00:29:29,960
\nsold him to the hand of Cushion
\nRisha fame. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:29:30,240 –> 00:29:33,520
\nKing of Mesopotamia and the
\nchildren of Israel served <\/p>\n
409
\n00:29:33,520 –> 00:29:36,360
\ncushion Risha fame for eight
\nyears. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:29:36,720 –> 00:29:41,440
\nNow what we see in verse seven
\nis the cycle of the judges. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:29:41,480 –> 00:29:43,400
\nMost of you will know that cycle
\nvery well. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:29:43,400 –> 00:29:46,040
\nJust look at verse seven again.
\nThe children of itself did evil <\/p>\n
413
\n00:29:46,040 –> 00:29:48,920
\nin the sight of the Lord, and
\nthey forgot the Lord their God <\/p>\n
414
\n00:29:49,080 –> 00:29:51,760
\nand served Bailim and the
\nGroves. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:29:51,920 –> 00:29:54,760
\nWell, this is exactly what we’re
\ntold. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:29:54,760 –> 00:29:56,840
\nJust go back to chapter 2 and
\nverse 11. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:29:57,440 –> 00:30:00,240
\nThe children of Israel did even
\ninside the Lord, they served <\/p>\n
418
\n00:30:00,240 –> 00:30:02,000
\nBaalum.
\nThey forsook the Lord God of <\/p>\n
419
\n00:30:02,000 –> 00:30:04,160
\ntheir fathers, which brought
\nthem out of the land of Egypt. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:30:04,280 –> 00:30:06,400
\nThey followed other gods, the
\ngods of the people that were <\/p>\n
421
\n00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:08,720
\nround about them.
\nThey bowed themselves to them <\/p>\n
422
\n00:30:08,800 –> 00:30:10,360
\nand they provoked the Lord to
\nanger. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:30:10,480 –> 00:30:13,520
\nThey forsook the Lord and they
\nserved Baal and Ashtroth and the<\/p>\n
424
\n00:30:13,560 –> 00:30:16,760
\nanger of the Lord was hot
\nagainst Israel. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:30:17,080 –> 00:30:20,440
\nNote that phrase verse 14.
\nThe anger of the Lord was hot <\/p>\n
426
\n00:30:20,440 –> 00:30:23,520
\nagainst Israel.
\nLook in verse 20, chapter 2, <\/p>\n
427
\n00:30:23,520 –> 00:30:25,240
\nverse 20.
\nHow does it? <\/p>\n
428
\n00:30:25,240 –> 00:30:30,960
\nWhat does it say?
\nThanks Phoebe for joining. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:30:30,960 –> 00:30:35,520
\nIn Shame on the rest of you, the
\nanger of the Lord has taught <\/p>\n
430
\n00:30:35,520 –> 00:30:37,720
\nagainst himself.
\nVerse eight of chapter 3, what <\/p>\n
431
\n00:30:37,760 –> 00:30:40,360
\nwe just read it.
\nThe anger of the Lord has taught<\/p>\n
432
\n00:30:40,360 –> 00:30:42,720
\nagainst itself.
\nDo you see this recurring phrase<\/p>\n
433
\n00:30:42,880 –> 00:30:45,880
\nnow this phrase, we just see it
\nhere at the beginning of Judges.<\/p>\n
434
\n00:30:46,000 –> 00:30:49,520
\nBut actually it’s exactly what
\nhappens all the way through the <\/p>\n
435
\n00:30:49,520 –> 00:30:51,760
\nbook of Judges because what do
\nthey do? <\/p>\n
436
\n00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:56,160
\nThey forsake the Lord their God
\nand they turn to other gods that<\/p>\n
437
\n00:30:56,280 –> 00:30:59,680
\nBalaam and Ashtaroth.
\nAnd So what does God do? <\/p>\n
438
\n00:30:59,680 –> 00:31:02,920
\nVerse 14 of chapter two, He
\ndelivers them into the hand of <\/p>\n
439
\n00:31:02,920 –> 00:31:05,440
\nspoilers that spoiled them.
\nHe sold them into the hands of <\/p>\n
440
\n00:31:05,440 –> 00:31:08,320
\ntheir enemies roundabout so they
\ncould no, not any longer stand <\/p>\n
441
\n00:31:08,320 –> 00:31:12,560
\nbefore their enemies.
\nSo they get sold into the hand <\/p>\n
442
\n00:31:12,720 –> 00:31:18,080
\nof their enemies.
\nAnd then what happens later on <\/p>\n
443
\n00:31:18,760 –> 00:31:25,600
\nverse 18 of chapter 2, that once
\nthey VE cried to God, he saves <\/p>\n
444
\n00:31:25,600 –> 00:31:31,040
\nthem by raising up a judge and
\nthat is the cycle of the judges.<\/p>\n
445
\n00:31:32,440 –> 00:31:36,400
\nThe people.
\nWell, they forget God, they turn<\/p>\n
446
\n00:31:36,400 –> 00:31:39,040
\nto Baalim and Astroth, they turn
\nto the gods of the Canaanites <\/p>\n
447
\n00:31:39,040 –> 00:31:41,800
\nand the like.
\nThen God says. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:31:41,800 –> 00:31:43,520
\nOK, well, if that’s what you
\nwant, that’s what you’re gonna <\/p>\n
449
\n00:31:43,520 –> 00:31:47,520
\nhave.
\nAnd he sells them to the to be <\/p>\n
450
\n00:31:47,520 –> 00:31:50,480
\nunder one of the awful kings of
\nthat time. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:31:51,160 –> 00:31:54,960
\nAnd their life is miserable.
\nAnd then after many years they <\/p>\n
452
\n00:31:54,960 –> 00:31:58,360
\nLL cry to God and say oh we VE
\nsinned, we realise we VE <\/p>\n
453
\n00:31:58,360 –> 00:32:00,120
\ncompletely messed up, we re so
\nsorry. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:32:00,120 –> 00:32:05,520
\nAnd God says OK, and he sends a
\njudge or a saviour for them. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:32:07,000 –> 00:32:09,640
\nAnd for a few.
\nYears it S great under that <\/p>\n
456
\n00:32:09,640 –> 00:32:13,000
\njudge.
\nThen that judge dies and they <\/p>\n
457
\n00:32:13,000 –> 00:32:17,360
\nsoon forget God and the cycle
\ngoes on and the so the whole of <\/p>\n
458
\n00:32:17,360 –> 00:32:20,720
\nthe book of the Judge is like a
\nCorkscrew all the way through <\/p>\n
459
\n00:32:20,720 –> 00:32:24,960
\nthe book of that cycle.
\nAnd when you reflect on it, too <\/p>\n
460
\n00:32:24,960 –> 00:32:27,320
\noften it’s the cycle of our own
\nlives, isn’t? <\/p>\n
461
\n00:32:29,480 –> 00:32:31,480
\nIt so we’ve got to.
\nTry to make sure that we we’re <\/p>\n
462
\n00:32:31,480 –> 00:32:35,680
\nsort of not on that roller
\ncoaster that Corkscrew that’s <\/p>\n
463
\n00:32:35,680 –> 00:32:38,800
\njust permanently just going
\nround on a loop we’ve. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:32:40,680 –> 00:32:44,080
\nGot to try to avoid.
\nThat in our lives, I want you to<\/p>\n
465
\n00:32:44,080 –> 00:32:46,520
\nnote this phrase.
\nVerse eight of judges three. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:32:46,720 –> 00:32:49,080
\nHe sold them.
\nNow in your margin, you’ve <\/p>\n
467
\n00:32:49,080 –> 00:32:52,600
\nprobably got next to He sold
\nthem, Chapter 2, verse 14, if <\/p>\n
468
\n00:32:52,600 –> 00:32:54,120
\nyou haven’t put it there, we
\njust read it. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:32:55,240 –> 00:32:57,680
\nHe sold them.
\nWe’ll see the significance of <\/p>\n
470
\n00:32:57,680 –> 00:33:00,640
\nthis.
\nNow and. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:33:00,640 –> 00:33:02,800
\nAnd throughout our studies, he
\nsold them. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:33:07,720 –> 00:33:12,040
\nCome first to Isaiah. 50 And
\nI’ll just take you into the New <\/p>\n
473
\n00:33:12,040 –> 00:33:14,120
\nTestament shortly, but come to
\nIsaiah 50. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:33:14,120 –> 00:33:18,640
\nKeep your marker in Isaiah 50.
\nWith many years after the book <\/p>\n
475
\n00:33:18,640 –> 00:33:25,400
\nof Judges, the prophet Isaiah is
\nspeaking to Israel and the <\/p>\n
476
\n00:33:25,400 –> 00:33:27,760
\nnation as we know at the time of
\nIsaiah. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:33:29,920 –> 00:33:33,960
\nSo many of them have.
\nBeen wicked so we read towards <\/p>\n
478
\n00:33:33,960 –> 00:33:39,320
\nthe end of verse one, behold.
\nSo Isaiah 50 towards the end of <\/p>\n
479
\n00:33:39,320 –> 00:33:45,800
\nverse one, behold, for your
\niniquities have you sold <\/p>\n
480
\n00:33:45,960 –> 00:33:50,520
\nyourselves, and for your
\ntransgressions is your mother <\/p>\n
481
\n00:33:50,720 –> 00:33:55,360
\nput away?
\nSo yes, it’s God who allows it <\/p>\n
482
\n00:33:55,360 –> 00:33:57,520
\nto happen.
\nGod, it says in judges sells <\/p>\n
483
\n00:33:57,520 –> 00:34:00,960
\nthem, but really they’ve sold
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:34:00,960 –> 00:34:04,280
\nDo you see?
\nLook, God says. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:34:04,280 –> 00:34:07,080
\nOK, if that’s what you want,
\nthat’s what you can have. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:34:08,120 –> 00:34:12,400
\nBut it’s because they’ve sold
\nthemselves to sin. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:34:13,480 –> 00:34:19,719
\nNow come to Psalm 81.
\nPlease just try and build this <\/p>\n
488
\n00:34:20,199 –> 00:34:23,520
\nidea and we go to Romans.
\nSo Psalm 81. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:34:31,280 –> 00:34:33,560
\nVerse 10 I am the.
\nLord, thy God, which brought <\/p>\n
490
\n00:34:33,560 –> 00:34:35,800
\nthee out the land of Egypt, open
\nthy mouth wide. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:34:35,800 –> 00:34:43,040
\nI will fill it, but my people
\nwould not hearken to my voice. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:34:43,199 –> 00:34:44,360
\nIsrael would.
\nNone of me. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:34:45,480 –> 00:34:50,800
\nSo I gave them up.
\nTo their own. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:34:50,800 –> 00:34:55,280
\nHearts, lusts, and they walked
\nin their own counsels. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:34:55,520 –> 00:34:59,600
\nOh, that my people had hearkened
\nto me, and Israel had walked in <\/p>\n
496
\n00:34:59,600 –> 00:35:01,800
\nmy ways.
\nI would have subdued their <\/p>\n
497
\n00:35:01,800 –> 00:35:04,520
\nenemies and turned my hand
\nagainst their adversaries. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:35:05,520 –> 00:35:10,840
\nBut they didn’t.
\nThey would not hearken to my <\/p>\n
499
\n00:35:10,840 –> 00:35:16,040
\nvoice, verse 11.
\nIsrael would none of me, verse <\/p>\n
500
\n00:35:16,040 –> 00:35:19,080
\n12.
\nSo I gave them up. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:35:20,400 –> 00:35:22,760
\nTo their own.
\nHeart’s lusts. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:35:24,080 –> 00:35:29,000
\nThis is the principle of Judges
\n3, verse eight. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:35:29,600 –> 00:35:33,680
\nGod sold them.
\nHe gave them up to their own <\/p>\n
504
\n00:35:33,680 –> 00:35:34,880
\nheart’s lusts.
\nNow I’m going to make a <\/p>\n
505
\n00:35:34,880 –> 00:35:38,160
\nsuggestion to you in verse 12.
\nThere you might want to put <\/p>\n
506
\n00:35:38,320 –> 00:35:41,800
\nJudges 3 verse 8.
\nAnother really helpful reference<\/p>\n
507
\n00:35:41,800 –> 00:35:49,800
\nput there is Romans 124 to 26.
\nRomans 124 to 26. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:35:49,960 –> 00:35:51,480
\nSome of you may have it there
\nalready. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:35:51,560 –> 00:35:54,080
\nIt’s actually already in my
\nmargin, so I was just able to <\/p>\n
510
\n00:35:54,080 –> 00:35:57,280
\ncircle it.
\nRomans 124 to 26. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:35:57,520 –> 00:36:00,040
\nHe gave them up.
\nIt says, isn’t it in the Psalm <\/p>\n
512
\n00:36:00,320 –> 00:36:04,040
\nTo their own hearts lust.
\nWill you come to Romans 1 before<\/p>\n
513
\n00:36:04,040 –> 00:36:07,080
\nwe go back to Judges?
\nCome with me to Romans 1. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:36:20,250 –> 00:36:24,450
\nSo verse 20.
\nFour, we read or we will read <\/p>\n
515
\n00:36:24,450 –> 00:36:31,130
\nnow, verse 24, wherefore God
\nalso gave them up. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:36:32,410 –> 00:36:37,690
\nTo uncleanness through the.
\nLust of their own hearts that is<\/p>\n
517
\n00:36:38,520 –> 00:36:43,440
\nPsalm 81 and verse 12.
\nHe gave them up to their own <\/p>\n
518
\n00:36:43,440 –> 00:36:46,440
\nhearts lust.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
519
\n00:36:46,480 –> 00:36:50,560
\nBecause they changed verse 25,
\nthe truth of God into a lie. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:36:50,920 –> 00:36:54,400
\nThey worshipped and served the
\ncreature more than the Creator. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:36:55,000 –> 00:36:59,360
\nIt’s an age-old problem.
\nHow much are we prepared? <\/p>\n
522
\n00:36:59,360 –> 00:37:06,080
\nTo put our faith in the Creator.
\nNot the creature, young people, <\/p>\n
523
\n00:37:06,080 –> 00:37:08,480
\nit’s.
\nOne of the major challenges of <\/p>\n
524
\n00:37:08,480 –> 00:37:13,520
\nour age.
\nHow much are you prepared to <\/p>\n
525
\n00:37:13,520 –> 00:37:20,200
\nhold the faith in believing in
\nthe Creator, not the creature? <\/p>\n
526
\n00:37:20,880 –> 00:37:23,800
\nThe very fact you’re here says
\nan awful lot about you. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:37:25,840 –> 00:37:29,360
\nVerse 26 of.
\nRomans one for this ’cause God <\/p>\n
528
\n00:37:29,920 –> 00:37:33,160
\ngave them up.
\nVerse 28. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:37:34,160 –> 00:37:36,880
\nEven as they did not like to
\nretain God in their knowledge, <\/p>\n
530
\n00:37:37,080 –> 00:37:41,840
\nGod gave them over to a
\nreprobate mind to do those <\/p>\n
531
\n00:37:41,840 –> 00:37:44,880
\nthings which are not convenient
\nin the end, God says. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:37:46,560 –> 00:37:50,840
\nI will give you.
\nWhat the desire of your heart <\/p>\n
533
\n00:37:51,000 –> 00:37:54,200
\nis.
\nSo come back to judges. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:37:54,200 –> 00:37:57,480
\nThree.
\nAnd as you turn back there, ask <\/p>\n
535
\n00:37:57,480 –> 00:38:01,360
\nyourself, there’s no point
\nlooking at this, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
536
\n00:38:01,360 –> 00:38:04,920
\nIf we don’t sort of try to
\nspiritually challenge ourselves <\/p>\n
537
\n00:38:04,920 –> 00:38:12,840
\nthis weekend, ask yourself what
\nis the number one desire of your<\/p>\n
538
\n00:38:12,840 –> 00:38:17,160
\nheart if.
\nIt is. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:38:17,480 –> 00:38:20,440
\nTo be in the Kingdom.
\nYou will be. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:38:20,440 –> 00:38:25,920
\nIn the Kingdom, you will be
\nthere because you’ve got the <\/p>\n
541
\n00:38:25,920 –> 00:38:29,160
\nfaith to hold on to the truth.
\nYou’re going to mess up on the <\/p>\n
542
\n00:38:29,160 –> 00:38:30,840
\nway.
\nDon’t worry about that. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:38:32,840 –> 00:38:36,440
\nBut if the number.
\nOne desire of your heart is to <\/p>\n
544
\n00:38:36,440 –> 00:38:41,880
\nbe in the Kingdom.
\nGod will get you there, but if. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:38:43,160 –> 00:38:45,960
\nAs a desire.
\nIt’s a bit further down the <\/p>\n
546
\n00:38:45,960 –> 00:38:49,240
\nlist.
\nI, I, I, I, I do really, really <\/p>\n
547
\n00:38:49,240 –> 00:38:52,800
\nwant the Kingdom, but I got a
\nlot on my plate at the moment. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:38:52,960 –> 00:38:56,120
\nYou know, if you could see what
\nI’ve got on at the moment in <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:56,120 –> 00:38:59,840
\nterms of college work right now,
\nyou would realise that it’s <\/p>\n
550
\n00:38:59,840 –> 00:39:03,160
\nactually pretty reasonable for
\nme not to be at Bible class or <\/p>\n
551
\n00:39:03,160 –> 00:39:06,200
\nthe lecture or, or or
\noccasionally actually missing on<\/p>\n
552
\n00:39:06,200 –> 00:39:07,960
\na Sunday morning.
\nYou would. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:39:07,960 –> 00:39:11,400
\nYou would realise that because
\nI’ve got a lot on my plate. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:39:12,080 –> 00:39:16,280
\nIf, if you had my job at the
\nmoment, trust me, you would see <\/p>\n
555
\n00:39:16,280 –> 00:39:21,040
\nthat actually the pressure I’m
\nunder, you would. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:39:21,040 –> 00:39:23,520
\nAccept.
\nThat, you know, yeah. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:39:23,640 –> 00:39:26,840
\nFor Pete, he’s got a lot on, you
\nknow, it’s OK. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:39:29,440 –> 00:39:31,480
\nIt’s just not the number.
\nOne desire of my life. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:39:34,480 –> 00:39:38,320
\nIf it is, it’s manifesting.
\nOut your actions, you make the <\/p>\n
560
\n00:39:38,320 –> 00:39:44,240
\neffort, you get there.
\nYou seek first the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
561
\n00:39:44,240 –> 00:39:48,080
\nGod, knowing everything else
\nwill get sorted out anyway. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:39:52,560 –> 00:39:53,960
\nWhat is your heart’s?
\nDesire. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:39:56,120 –> 00:40:00,360
\nBack in Judges chapter 3, he
\nsold them to the. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:40:00,360 –> 00:40:03,560
\nHand of Kush and Richa Thain.
\nKush and Richa Thain make a <\/p>\n
565
\n00:40:03,560 –> 00:40:05,840
\nnote.
\nDouble wickedness. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:40:05,840 –> 00:40:08,800
\nThat’s what that name means.
\nDouble wickedness. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:40:09,400 –> 00:40:15,400
\nAnd they’re descended from the
\nthe the people of Ham. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:40:17,320 –> 00:40:20,560
\nYou.
\nMight remember that Kush was the<\/p>\n
569
\n00:40:20,560 –> 00:40:24,840
\nbrother of Canaan.
\nSo from Ham came Kush also. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:40:24,840 –> 00:40:32,640
\nHe had four sons, Kush, Canaan
\nand the likes of Nimrod. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:40:33,640 –> 00:40:37,760
\nAnd we suggest that the, the,
\nthe, the people of Kush, the, <\/p>\n
572
\n00:40:37,760 –> 00:40:42,960
\nthe, the, that idea of Nimrod,
\nwe won’t go there, but time’s <\/p>\n
573
\n00:40:42,960 –> 00:40:46,560
\nmoving way too quickly.
\nYou can go there in a break back<\/p>\n
574
\n00:40:46,560 –> 00:40:49,840
\nto Genesis chapter 10 to see
\nthose lines clearly set out for <\/p>\n
575
\n00:40:49,840 –> 00:40:54,440
\nus.
\nBut from that system comes <\/p>\n
576
\n00:40:54,960 –> 00:40:58,480
\nBabylon and all that Babylon
\nrepresents. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:40:59,040 –> 00:41:03,840
\nYou think Genesis 10 leads to
\nGenesis 11 and the Tower of <\/p>\n
578
\n00:41:03,840 –> 00:41:07,080
\nBabel?
\nThe system of. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:41:07,080 –> 00:41:11,320
\nBabylon cushion Rishathane, king
\nof Mesopotamia. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:41:11,320 –> 00:41:14,160
\nOf course, we know, don’t we,
\nthat Babylon was in the region <\/p>\n
581
\n00:41:14,160 –> 00:41:17,800
\nof Mesopotamia.
\nSo there’s this Babylonian king,<\/p>\n
582
\n00:41:17,800 –> 00:41:21,840
\nas it were, who the people are
\nsold to. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:41:22,280 –> 00:41:25,600
\nIt’s a type, isn’t it?
\nRight at the beginning of their <\/p>\n
584
\n00:41:25,600 –> 00:41:28,400
\ntime in Israel, where do they
\nend up being sold to? <\/p>\n
585
\n00:41:28,400 –> 00:41:30,880
\nWho’s the last lot they get sold
\nto? <\/p>\n
586
\n00:41:31,040 –> 00:41:34,440
\nAt the end of the Old Testament,
\nthey’re sold to the Babylonians.<\/p>\n
587
\n00:41:36,280 –> 00:41:39,720
\nThey were shown right at.
\nThe beginning if you don’t have <\/p>\n
588
\n00:41:39,720 –> 00:41:43,880
\nfaith and trust in me, you’ll
\nget given to the Babylonians. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:41:44,000 –> 00:41:47,560
\nThis is what happens here in
\nJudges chapter 3. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:41:48,240 –> 00:41:53,040
\nAnd I just want to make a note
\nof Revelation 18 next to this <\/p>\n
591
\n00:41:53,040 –> 00:41:55,320
\nidea of double wickedness.
\nWe won’t turn there. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:41:55,320 –> 00:41:58,720
\nTime’s gone.
\nWhen the Babylonian. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:41:58,720 –> 00:42:01,080
\nSystem is judged.
\nSo here’s the reference for you.<\/p>\n
594
\n00:42:01,080 –> 00:42:07,400
\nRevelation 18, verses 5 and six.
\nWe’re told her sins reached to <\/p>\n
595
\n00:42:07,400 –> 00:42:09,920
\nheaven just like the Tower of
\nBabel did. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:42:10,280 –> 00:42:12,680
\nHer sins reached to heaven.
\nGod has remembered her <\/p>\n
597
\n00:42:12,680 –> 00:42:14,480
\niniquities.
\nReward her even as she’s <\/p>\n
598
\n00:42:14,480 –> 00:42:17,720
\nrewarded with you, and double
\nunto her. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:42:18,240 –> 00:42:22,400
\nDouble according to her works.
\nWhat are her works? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:42:22,400 –> 00:42:29,320
\nHer works are double wickedness.
\nSo when that system is judged at<\/p>\n
601
\n00:42:29,320 –> 00:42:34,480
\nthe time of the end Book of
\nRevelation shows us she will be <\/p>\n
602
\n00:42:34,480 –> 00:42:40,320
\njudged double because her works
\nwere double wickedness. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:42:41,680 –> 00:42:46,600
\nNow just nearly the final slide,
\nthis slide we LL have one more, <\/p>\n
604
\n00:42:46,600 –> 00:42:51,240
\nbut just as a quickie verse 9,
\nwhen the children of Israel <\/p>\n
605
\n00:42:51,240 –> 00:42:54,280
\ncried to the Lord, the Lord
\nraised up a deliverer. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:42:54,400 –> 00:42:56,400
\nHas anyone a different word for
\nthe word deliverer? <\/p>\n
607
\n00:42:58,200 –> 00:43:00,640
\nVerse 9 the.
\nLord raised up a deliverer. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:43:00,640 –> 00:43:02,960
\nJudges 3 verse nine.
\nAnyone got anything different? <\/p>\n
609
\n00:43:03,600 –> 00:43:05,520
\nSaviour.
\nThank you, Saviour. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:43:06,560 –> 00:43:10,240
\nThat obviously is a key
\nprinciple because each of the <\/p>\n
611
\n00:43:10,240 –> 00:43:15,080
\njudges, yes, they’re a
\ndeliverer, they are a saviour. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:43:15,640 –> 00:43:18,480
\nThey point to the work of the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:43:19,240 –> 00:43:27,280
\nSo this Saviour is Offniel, the
\nson of Kinas, Caleb’s younger <\/p>\n
614
\n00:43:27,280 –> 00:43:29,000
\nbrother.
\nNow Offniel. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:43:31,160 –> 00:43:34,000
\nIf you look it up.
\nThere are two definitions, and <\/p>\n
616
\n00:43:34,000 –> 00:43:36,880
\nit seems to be impossible,
\ncertainly for someone like me <\/p>\n
617
\n00:43:36,880 –> 00:43:40,520
\nwho doesn’t speak Hebrew, to
\nwork out exactly which of these <\/p>\n
618
\n00:43:40,520 –> 00:43:44,040
\ndefinitions it is.
\nSome will tell you Offniel means<\/p>\n
619
\n00:43:44,040 –> 00:43:48,960
\nGod is my strength.
\nSome will say it means Lion of <\/p>\n
620
\n00:43:48,960 –> 00:43:52,840
\nGod.
\nEither way, the lion show <\/p>\n
621
\n00:43:52,840 –> 00:43:55,640
\nstrength, doesn’t it?
\nThe Lion of the tribe of off <\/p>\n
622
\n00:43:55,640 –> 00:43:59,160
\nnearly from the tribe of Judah.
\nThat was the tribe that Caleb <\/p>\n
623
\n00:43:59,160 –> 00:44:01,600
\nwas put into to the tribe of
\nJudah. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:44:01,880 –> 00:44:05,640
\nSo the Lion of the tribe of
\nJudah is going to be sent to <\/p>\n
625
\n00:44:05,640 –> 00:44:09,160
\ndeal with.
\nCushion Rishathane. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:44:09,400 –> 00:44:12,360
\nDouble wickedness.
\nIt points, doesn’t it, to the <\/p>\n
627
\n00:44:12,360 –> 00:44:17,160
\nwork of the Lord Jesus, the one
\nwho’s going to come and deal <\/p>\n
628
\n00:44:17,200 –> 00:44:21,120
\nwith the Babylonian system and
\nsave Israel. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:44:21,120 –> 00:44:25,400
\nThe Spirit of the Lord came upon
\nhim. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:44:25,400 –> 00:44:27,520
\nHe judged Israel and went out to
\nwar. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:44:27,800 –> 00:44:30,560
\nAnd the Lord delivered Kush and
\nRishathem, king of Mesopotamia, <\/p>\n
632
\n00:44:30,560 –> 00:44:33,880
\ninto his hand, and his hand
\nprevailed against Kush and <\/p>\n
633
\n00:44:33,880 –> 00:44:39,000
\nRishathem, and the land have
\nrest 40 years. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:44:40,560 –> 00:44:46,840
\nNow that time period is of major
\nsignificance, I want to note <\/p>\n
635
\n00:44:46,840 –> 00:44:48,600
\nthis.
\nWe’re not going. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:44:48,600 –> 00:44:50,800
\nTo look into it just.
\nYet we will do shortly. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:44:51,120 –> 00:44:57,360
\nJust flip the page Judges 5.
\nGo to the end of Judges 5. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:44:57,760 –> 00:44:59,880
\nHow long did the land have rest
\nfor? <\/p>\n
639
\n00:45:02,680 –> 00:45:06,040
\nSomeone.
\nShouted out for me 40 years. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:45:07,040 –> 00:45:11,800
\nJudges 8.
\nGo to the end verse 28. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:45:12,520 –> 00:45:15,840
\nI appreciate that you could say
\ncome on Pete, you can just tell <\/p>\n
642
\n00:45:15,840 –> 00:45:16,640
\nus.
\nIt S so obvious. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:45:17,160 –> 00:45:23,080
\nVerse 28 the end of the verse
\nThe Hebrew S just the same go on<\/p>\n
644
\n00:45:23,080 –> 00:45:25,440
\nHarry sorry 40 years.
\nThank you. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:45:25,720 –> 00:45:28,600
\nThe country was in quietness.
\nSome other versions will say the<\/p>\n
646
\n00:45:28,600 –> 00:45:30,600
\nland had rest.
\nIt S the same Hebrew. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:45:30,880 –> 00:45:38,720
\nThe land had rest 40 years.
\nThat 40 year period is of major <\/p>\n
648
\n00:45:38,760 –> 00:45:42,280
\nsignificance.
\nNow, any of you that S have <\/p>\n
649
\n00:45:42,280 –> 00:45:44,840
\ngiven that any thought before,
\ncome and have a chat with me. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:45:45,120 –> 00:45:48,920
\nWe will tease it out in our
\nstudies, God willing, later on <\/p>\n
651
\n00:45:48,920 –> 00:45:51,040
\ntoday, but I’m going to stop us
\nthere. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:45:51,360 –> 00:45:54,240
\nI just want us to take some
\nTHMS. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:45:55,120 –> 00:45:58,280
\nWhat are THMS?
\nTake her message. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:45:58,280 –> 00:46:03,480
\nWhat are?
\nTake her message so #1 in your <\/p>\n
655
\n00:46:03,480 –> 00:46:10,320
\nlife you’ve got to get refined
\nas gold is refined. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:46:11,360 –> 00:46:14,520
\nGod does not ask of you to get
\nit sorted. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:46:15,000 –> 00:46:19,760
\nHe asks you to have faith.
\nBut he has got it sorted for us.<\/p>\n
658
\n00:46:21,560 –> 00:46:24,840
\nHave faith and.
\nIf we do that. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:46:25,120 –> 00:46:27,920
\nThen we will be given the
\nblessing of those Simonites that<\/p>\n
660
\n00:46:27,920 –> 00:46:31,480
\nheld on to the Lion of the tribe
\nof Judah. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:46:32,280 –> 00:46:36,320
\nHold on, we live in the last
\ndays, we re sure of it. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:46:38,080 –> 00:46:41,320
\nHold on to the.
\nLion of the Tribe of Judah, be <\/p>\n
663
\n00:46:41,320 –> 00:46:45,280
\ncareful what you wish for.
\nGod will give you the desire of <\/p>\n
664
\n00:46:45,280 –> 00:46:50,120
\nyour heart.
\nMy mum used to say to John and I<\/p>\n
665
\n00:46:50,120 –> 00:46:53,680
\nwhen we were younger and perhaps
\njust a little bit more naughty, <\/p>\n
666
\n00:46:53,680 –> 00:46:55,080
\nnot much more, but a little bit
\nmore. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:46:56,120 –> 00:47:00,720
\nShe used to say to us, you know,
\nlisten, be careful what you wish<\/p>\n
668
\n00:47:00,720 –> 00:47:03,160
\nfor, God will give you in the
\nend. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:47:03,160 –> 00:47:09,200
\nWhat if your heart and your head
\nis always focused on, frankly, <\/p>\n
670
\n00:47:09,200 –> 00:47:11,680
\nthe wrong things?
\nWell, that’s what you’ll get, <\/p>\n
671
\n00:47:13,000 –> 00:47:16,000
\nbut the end thereof is the
\ngrave. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:47:17,720 –> 00:47:20,800
\nBe careful what you wish.
\nFor God will give you your <\/p>\n
673
\n00:47:20,800 –> 00:47:24,280
\nheart’s desire.
\nWork out your own. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:47:24,280 –> 00:47:28,080
\nSalvation with trembling and
\nfear every man to his <\/p>\n
675
\n00:47:28,080 –> 00:47:31,200
\ninheritance.
\nAll of us have got. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:47:31,200 –> 00:47:35,680
\nTo war the warfare, yes, we do
\nit as a collective, we support <\/p>\n
677
\n00:47:35,680 –> 00:47:39,080
\nand we help each other.
\nBut in the end, salvation is an <\/p>\n
678
\n00:47:39,080 –> 00:47:42,360
\nindividual matter.
\nYou can’t save someone else and <\/p>\n
679
\n00:47:42,360 –> 00:47:45,880
\nthey can’t save you.
\nYou have got to make. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:47:45,880 –> 00:47:49,920
\nSure that in your life?
\nYou get your faith. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:47:49,920 –> 00:47:55,600
\nRight.
\nAnd make sure that you keep on <\/p>\n
682
\n00:47:55,760 –> 00:47:59,400
\nwarring the warfare.
\nThat warring the warfare isn’t <\/p>\n
683
\n00:47:59,400 –> 00:48:03,440
\nsimply about dealing with the
\nproblem of sin in the world and <\/p>\n
684
\n00:48:03,520 –> 00:48:06,160
\ntelling everyone else what we
\nthink that they’re doing wrong. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:48:07,360 –> 00:48:11,200
\nIn fact, above.
\nAll it’s about conquering it to <\/p>\n
686
\n00:48:11,200 –> 00:48:13,000
\nthe best of our ability.
\nIn US. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:48:13,760 –> 00:48:16,280
\nIt’s been conquered by the Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:48:16,680 –> 00:48:21,400
\nIf you have faith in that and
\nwar the warfare, you will share <\/p>\n
689
\n00:48:21,560 –> 00:48:22,360
\nthat victory.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
